SERVICE APP
The environment in which applications are deployed is always changing. Traffic can suddenly spike as a result of legitimate demand. Bots can impersonate users perpetuating fraud or cause other types of mayhem. Determined cyber criminals can break through previously solid defenses. Server outages can disrupt normal traffic patterns, potentially taking an application offline for some or all users.
Application security and delivery technology—such as traffic management, web application firewalls, load balancing, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) protection, and API management—interacts with the environment around the application, enabling it to adapt to changing conditions. These and other application services help to ensure the performance, security and operability of the applications they support by shaping and steering traffic in response to the application state, the nature of the traffic itself, and other environmental factors.
Description
Multiple languages and frameworks - App Service has first-class support for ASP.NET, ASP.NET Core, Java, Ruby, Node.js, PHP, or Python. You can also run PowerShell and other scripts or executables as background services.
Managed production environment - App Service automatically patches and maintains the OS and language frameworks for you. Spend time writing great apps and let Azure worry about the platform.
Application templates - Choose from an extensive list of application templates in the Azure Marketplace, such as WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal.
Serverless code - Run a code snippet or script on-demand without having to explicitly provision or manage infrastructure, and pay only for the compute time your code actually uses (see Azure Functions).
